Listen and watch Brad Stine comment on the 'wussification' of Americans via political correctness. He tells us why this PC is especially troubling for our children. I would love to hear a liberal tell us why they support political correctness in all of its devious forms.

It's a mix of progressive "values", progressive totalitarianism, and feminism in the workplace. Women want to be in a man's world, but never risk being offended. _
It's certainly destroying speech in the U.S. and the ability and willingness of Americans to talk with people who aren't just like them. Wait, that's what liberals want, isn't it?
Interesting POV. So its an "arbitrary thing" to remember there are other religions than the ones that practice Christmas among your customers, and to include more than just your own religion's holidays as you greet the public. Actually, the very idea that it is a "wussification" to NOT be a Christian is a bit "arbitrary", wouldn't you think? It is NOT "troubling" that children should learn and behave with respect that there are other beliefs in the world besides their OWN, it is teaching them to be REAL "grownups", much wiser than their parents.
"much more" infers inequality "I hate" infers uncontrolled emotionalism "makes me angry" infers intolerance ERGO: your dislike of political correctness is blatantly 'politically incorrect'.
Wait a minute. I'm lost. He's offended by people who are offended by people who are offended? Shouldn't he be yelling at himself? He's the one telling other people what they can put in their stores. He wants them to put up "Merry Christmas" signs and if the shops don't want to, he gets offended. He thinks that not putting up the proper sign with the proper religious terms is offensive. "We allow them to take signs out of our stores ..." But they're not his stores. What right does he have to tell me what signs I should put up in my store? He's the one trying to enforce his own brand of political correctness. Twisted. Very twisted.
Correction. They don't necessarily want to be in a man's world. You won't hear feminists whining and moaning that there aren't enough female garbage collectors or construction workers. You might hear some feminists complain that there's not enough women in the army, but don't hold your breath for them to demand that women get included in the draft. For them their supposed "wanting to be treated equal" is selective.
Correction! Utter BS. If you cared to do ANY research, you will read that NUMEROUS feminists have said and written that if there is a draft, it should be for men AND WOMEN! And assignment to combat as well. BTW, Just Making Things Up appears to be quite "Right Wing Politically Correct". http://www.girlscantwhat.com/should-women-be-drafted-into-the-military/ http://www.cathyyoung.net/bgcolumns/2003/drafted.html
You don't seem to be dealing in reality here. The guy you responded to has it correct. Femanazis want everyhing equal until such little negatives like military conscription comes their way, or anything involving an 11-B-10 role, or combat for you rookies. How do you suppose a woman and a man would get along out in a combat setting? Would the military have to make a completely new set of rules to deal with sexual harrassment etc? How or why would our military deal with a female soldier if she were to get pregnant while on duty? Your obvious denial of or ignorance on these issues is troubling to say the least. Look, we already have the problems of allowing gays into the military. We don't need a bunch of emotionally unstable shrill females going beserk every month come PMS time.
Sorry, your hatred seems to blind you seeing or reading reality, and all you have is the voices in your head. Most feminists regularly call for equal roles in the draft and in combat. How about some quotes from the "Feminazi's" who support women not being drafted? Not from the skanks who frequent "White Pride" sites like Phyllis Shafly, REAL women! Interesting you are so lacking in ANY kind of reality you shift the subject to the your personal issues with women rather than confront the idea that women who believe in equality are willing to be drafted. It SONDS like the people like YOU have a "problem", the MILITARY does NOT "have a problem", the military is doing just fine! Yeah, shure thing, what, is the Right afraid of the competition? Actually, what we don't need is a bunch of bigots in the forces who can't concentrate on fighting because they are imaging having sex with the gay man next to them, the same bigots who make up their stupid stories about what women want or can do! Whiny White Men are simply wishing to get back their first 200 years of law-preserved a WHOLE SOCIETY of Affirmative Action Set-asides BY LAW for themselves, and this desire to get back "American Traditions" is their hysterical and frantic desire to get back their lost law-imposed advantages. Sorry, Right Wing, you're LOSING! After 200 years, you are going to have to stand on your own two feet!
Yes, political correctness is destroying American traditions like racism, misogyny and religious intolerance!! PC mentality can definitely go too far, but for the most part it is just a reflection of the growing political power of marginalized groups. Back in the day, wearing black face and doing a soft shoe dance was acceptable, because black people were oppressed against speaking their mind, and they were humiliated in popular culture and society on a regular basis. Virtually every minority group was treated like garbage and white Christians were treated normal and given special privileges. This is why some people don't like the PC mentality, because it means they have to treat others with dignity and respect and it represents a passing of white privilege and institutional/systematic racism.
Being PC isn't a problem. The problem is that we are often too PC towards all the wrong people. I refuse to be politically correct when it comes to Islam, the Chinese, or right wingers.
